Gambling is finished for me. Here's my story.

Question

Hi all,

In life, I had the chance to have good jobs and living conditions. Today, it is official day that I decided to stop gambling forever.

On the long run, I probably lost a few thousands. After an amazing trip abroad, I felt a bit lonely so I started to bet again. I decided to open an account and bet with sports and poker. To my big surprise, I was able to win about a total of 9000$. Some of it was pure luck though and I got lucky trying to regain losses. Today, I put that 9k to roughly 5,5k. I lost most of it on a damn Argentinian soccer game, but it's ok. I said it is OVER. I swore on my life that I would not do it and end my gambling life by a win. I have cashed out most of it. 5,5k is HUGE MONEY and being able to stop and cashing it out makes me very happy.

A few years ago, I would have lost that remaining 5,5k trying to get back the 9k, but not today and I am proud of myself!

I wish you good luck for gambling and thanks for reading me.

Hey man, all power to you and you should be proud you made that decision. But I must admit, when I read the "here&#x27;s my story" in the thread title, I thought it would be a little better than that...

Coming on here and saying you WON $5,500 gambling doesn&#x27;t boost the credibility of your story.

Makako, I just wanted to thank you for your story.Your message INSPIRED ME to also give up gamblingUnfortunately, that was only for one commercial break.

TheGoldenGoose · Answer

The 20% RuleAlways set a goal when you start a gambling session.  When you reach that goal keep playing but if it falls 20%, it&#x27;s time to quit for that gambling session.Example:  You set a goal of $1000 and you hit it, you&#x27;re up $1000.  If you keep playing and your $1000 profit drops to $800, it&#x27;s time to leave.Adios amigos with the profit.

I was going to stop betting until somebody offered me even juice on the prop bet of makako losing over or under 5.5K by halftime of the 1 PM ET NFL slate this coming Sunday.

I also got side action on the prop "Will Makako use Western Union or MoneyGram to redeposit more money," with WU going off at +125.

Nothing cathartic about it. You'll be right back in like a strain of dog hair that escaped out of the vacuum bag last week.

GunShard · Answer

You should have followed these sharp rules to sports betting:

1. Money management. Bet less than 5% of your total current bankroll per bet. Use Kelly Criterion Calculator. Be discipline.

For example:

If your total bankroll is $2000.

5% of your $2000 is $100.

If you lose your $100 bet, now you have $1900.

5% of your $1900 is $95.

Now you bet $95 instead of $100 because of your total current bankroll has changed.

Bet like this and you can either slowly gain or slowly lose but can never be completely broke.

2. Be a strategic gambler by picking your spots and wait for the right opportunity. Never be a compulsive gambler by betting because it's your favorite team or for the action. Do your research.

3. Stay emotionless all the time. Bet like a robot. There's no place for emotions in this profession. Be unbiased.

4. Do not judge a team based on what they did last week.
